Please help..Broke my Tail lights

So my apartment complex has an infinite number of columns which are of course positioned in such a way as to maximize the possibility of hitting them. Anyway long story short, I backed into one the other day

Here is the damage:





So as you can see, only the outer tail light cover is busted. My question is, what part number is this? Where would the cheapest place to get it from be and how much would it cost?

The light itself is working fine, its just the cover that's busted. Thanks for looking and appreciate any help.

Is it hard to install? And that part is just the cover or the whole light? Thanks for the help

That is part number 1 in the below diagram (but for the passenger side the diagram only shows drivers side). It's not very hard as long as you have a few tools, a work space, and a little bit of time. HERE is a DIY showing how to install the "black line" tails for the E92, same process just different tail lamps going in.



If you'd like to switch over to a different style tail lamp as stated this could be a "blessing in disguise". I have several Euro and LED options for your car available HERE if you're interested in changing up the rear end.

Get the LCI tails, or buy used pre-lci from the forum classifieds. I just put my LCI tails in a week ago, they do wonders for the rear.

So what makes them different? The turn signal LEDs. Our version blinks red and the euro version blinks amber. Doesn't sound like a big deal (and it's probably not in the grand scheme of things), but seeing amber lights flashing from what looks like a complete red housing just looks very cool. It's a totally unexpected color when you see it in person. I have no idea why BMW would switch them out with red for the US market.

I've been waiting for these to come in for the longest time and Alekshop finally got a shipment in. Had them switched out today and here's a photo:



I guess it could be considered one of the dumbest mods you can spend money on, but I love the little details in things. And if you are looking to switch from the old style lights to LCI's anyways, this might be the right set for you.

If I have the LCI tails already would the Euro versions be just plug-n-play? I wouldn't think different colored LED's would require any coding since my car is already LCI coded.

I don't see why it wouldn't be plug in play if you had the US LCI's already in and coded. I am kind of wishing I went with amber now, anyone in Europe want to swap your ambers for my reds?

Depends on which style you want. There are a few options. HERE is a link to the LCIs and Euros.
